Arsenal boss Arteta: We must be wary of Leeds DNA

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is wary facing Leeds United this weekend.

Arteta knows Leeds' fighting spirit will be a factor.

He said, "Leeds have very particular DNA, how they behave, the character and the passion and energy they play with, they have been doing it for a long time, now with a new manager and new ideas, and player back from injuries they are a very dangerous team, we have discussed that openly and we are going to have be very good to beat them."

On Leeds manager Javi Gracia, Arteta said: "Really good, I know him as a player because he used to play in my home-town really really well. He is a good coach, really, really dedicated, thoughtful and really clear in the way his team wants to play, he can carry it as well, he is very adaptable and has coached so many teams already at his age, that shows the quality he has."
